  1. Adhesive would be very much in the vein of Single Power so I use screws.
  2. Nope, busy building these... Finishing up the last of my old BH stuff. The black one is running in now.
  3. Indeed... perhaps it's time to post some pics of the last flagship?
  4. The ST is something special.
  5. Looking at the picks on Moon Audio.... this is one fugly set of headphones. Seriously, did Ray design this pile of fail?
  6. Board is always correct, the BOM probably isn't. I moved to smaller caps in the LV supply to save space when I did the KGSSHVk boards. A 500V 3900pf will work especially with the 270V zener in place.
  7. There is the Momentum Bluetooth which is suppose would be huge for them and not us. We did discover a huge flaw with the pre production (or early production) wireless sets as they appear to be volume capped and it's not nearly loud enough. 10K for anything Hifiman is madness. I guess that's why they were so touchy on HF when people called it a fugly headphone. Also the amp is in a chassis that costs way less than 100$ for both boxes in China....
  8. Be careful with those screws as... well Sennheiser uses the cheapest crap they can find so they strip easily.
  9. I did confirm today that the HD800 is indeed not discontinued and it's just the slew of wireless units that they are coming out with. I could have tried them but couldn't be arsed...
  10. Sennheiser are still selling the HD600 which they should have discontinued years ago so the HD800 going away isn't bloody likely. Still I can check on Monday from the belly of the beast. Also Changstar as source is just precious. Might as well believe that the new HE1000 is the best headphone ever made as they are saying on HF....
  11. I really like that one. I have something very special on the backburner for the "ultimate" KGST and I need to move it ahead in the row of priorities. Today the first GES Mk2 is taking shape with the new PCB's. Roughly half the size of the Woo Mk1 unit and it's fully balanced, with a better PSU and far less distortion...
  12. That's what Stax do
  13. It says HD800 - Black, which were discontinued by Sennheiser or rather never made it to serial manufacture. They always planned on having a silver and a black one before launch.
  14. You could also have left out about half of the holes.
  15. Good luck getting any reply from Conrad as they have gone into full radio silence mode.
  16. Nothing like that had been decided last I heard. They are being awefully cryptic with this whole thing
  17. It is coming and the price is insane. They turn 70 in May so it's time for a celebration. There will also be a new dynamic at some point, more high end than the HD800
  18. The Leica S isn't exactly light so that is a factor.
  19. Happy Birthday!!! I baked you some bread and then I sold it all...
  20. I think that says it all...
  21. I think the BC stuff is as sure a bet as we can have with semi's. They are old as the hills a a lot of companies make them. It's either that of throw an ECC83 in there. They will outlast all of it in production.
  22. We will do a competely SMD attenuator as Í'm not going to assemble them... I'm also in charge of parts procurement. If everything I've bought turns out to be real then I'll have parts for at least 50 T2's... or even 100.
  23. Kevin and I have been discussing something similar if we build a few commercial grade T2's.
  24. Nice to see that one again. The JJ ECC83S are about as good as it gets so they would be my choice. It would be fun to build a few more of these with a CCS load for both stages (well sink for the front end). Would be a killer budget Stax amp.
  25. It's huge... even for me. It's a love piece of kit though.
